i18n
====

[](#i18n)

Library that provides a simple i18n message interface that wraps some of the MediaWiki i18n functionality. The aim of this library is to collect the code needed by any extension to MediaWiki that wants to use the MediaWiki i18n system though at the same time not bind to the MediaWiki framework.

MediaWiki 1.20 or later is required.
